Making Sander Levinís claim that progressive groups were flagged by the IRS is ridiculous. Levin has been a left wing extremist his entire career in politics. Levin has been a stranger to the truth his entire time in Congress. He does not mention why six progressive groups were flagged and were they put through the same requirements the Tea Party was put through. The whole story is a big nothing.

Senator Carl Levin and Senator Debbie Stabenow both voted to give illegal immigrants amnesty. Thatís around 20 million people coming to the US. Right now, in Michigan, we have 8.4 percent unemployment, Detroit has 16 percent unemployment and almost 20 percent of everyone in Michigan is receiving government food stamps. What is the purpose of adding 20 million-plus more illegal immigrants to our population. Can someone tell me why the Democrats are supporting this?

If the government was spying on us to protect us, why was the information used by the IRS to target American citizens? If Washington was protecting Americans our borders would have been secured by now, the Americans in Benghazi would have received the help they requested long before the attack, and Brian Terry would not have been killed as a result of the unjustified Fast and Furious scheme. The Fort Hood shooter and Boston bombers would have been dealt with as a threat to society if security would have acted on the information they had collected. Instead, innocent Americans were murdered due to their inaction. Is our government being manipulated by ingenious people that consider Americans the enemy? Is Washington being coerced into waving the white flag on our behalf as they surrender our freedoms and right to defend ourselves against tyranny? The red flags are too numerous to ignore and apathy is no longer an option. Because we will cease to be citizens of the greatest nation in the world if we allow the ruthless and relentless to succeed in toppling the United States of America.

Detroit will never get back on its feet with the leadership they have today. We need someone. It doesnít matter if they are black, white, purple or green. If they are qualified and want to build back the city of Detroit, vote them in.
